"And forgive us our debts
as we forgive our debtors";
that is,
be pleased
for the sake of Christ's blood,
not to impute to us poor sinners,
our transgressions,
nor that depravity, which always cleaves to us; (a)
even as we feel this evidence of thy grace in us,
that it is our firm resolution
from the heart to forgive our neighbour. (b)

only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
